How to Talk So Your Kids Will Hear You – Rebecca Lindenbach – Part 1 Sep 27, 2017

Show notes

Teen rebellion is seen as a cultural norm, but Rebecca Gregoire Lindenbach begs to differ. In Why I Didn’t Rebel–based on a viral blog post that has been read by more than 750,000 people–Lindenbach shows how rebellion is neither unavoidable nor completely understood. You’ll love hearing her point of view in this two part series!
Rather than provide step-by-step instructions on how to construct the perfect family, Lindenbach tells her own story and the stories of others as examples of what went right, inviting readers to think differently about parenting. Addressing hot-button issues such as courtship, the purity movement, and spanking–and revealing how some widely–held beliefs in the Christian community may not actually help children–Why I Didn’t Rebel provides an utterly unique, eye-opening vision for raising kids who follow God rather than the world.
Rebecca Gregoire Lindenbach is an author, blogger, and psychology graduate from Ottawa, Canada. The daughter of blogger and author Sheila Wray Gregoire, Lindenbach is an online entrepreneur passionate about challenging pat answers and daring people to live beyond the status quo. She just celebrated her second anniversary this July. Together they have a curmudgeonly old-man Yorkshire Terrier named Winston. Find her book, Why I Didn’t Rebel!

Whose Kids Are They, Anyway? Sep 25, 2017

Show notes

Last week in a bold, anti-parent move, the school board of Northern California’s Rocklin Academy Gateway voted unanimously to keep a policy that allows books that promote transgenderism to be read to children as young as five, but added a policy that they would warn parents before they did.
Despite notifying the parents, however, the school board denied a proposal to give parents the right to pull their children out of classes that would teach the children pro-transgender education, essentially making the notification rule useless. (Article from Red State)
Many people assert that there is nothing parents can do—or that they don’t care what their children are being taught. I disagree on both counts. Listen in!
